Actually, this incident occurred in a "good, safe" neighborhood in one of the suburbs north of Houston, not far from where I live. It is one of several incidents that have occurred recently in this general area, including bank robberies, assault & battery combined with robbery, and armed robbery, as well as a variety of other less violent offences (B&E, etc). It is one of the several that I have shared with my family as reasons to be alert & prepared to defend themselves from violence.

As was pointed out, yet more proof that there is no such thing as a place where this sort of thing can't happen. Sadly, it is also one of a growing trend of violence towards others that has seemingly gripped our nation in the last couple years.

Does anyone know if the FBI crime statistics back up the appearance of more violence, or if it is just the appearance that has intensified?
